Grigor Dimitrov: More Than Just a Tennis Star

Following tennis is very good, but it is always very nutritious to get to know a little more about the racket holders who make followers of this sport such as tennis vibrate so much. Thus, it doesn’t hurt to read some inspiring words from those who have had good results in recent times. One of them is the always so charismatic Grigor Dimitrov. The Bulgarian who returned to the top 10 in 2024 offered an interesting interview to Tennis Channel in which he delved more into Grigor the person than into the tennis player Grigor that we all know.

And the 33-year-old player shows that tennis is not the most important thing in life, but that everything has a balance. You learn from everything, from the relationships that last and from those that come to teach you something and leave. “Off the track, things are just as important. Connections with people, with friends, with family, with people who may not have served you well, but you understood the lesson as you matured. I feel all these things contribute a lot. For me, I would say it has been an incredible journey the last seven months away from tennis.”he confessed.

Dimitrov is aware that he is not a young man who has recently arrived on the circuit, but he knows that precisely this trajectory is helping him now to get the best out of himself. All you have to do is look at his recent career: “I am also at the age where I think maturity, experience and love for the sport comes. You try to understand more about yourself, more about your environment, more about who you want to be around, the advantages of certain things, disappointment and how to handle things.”

A combination of the best of their parents

On the other hand, the impact that his parents have had on his personality is very great, as the Bulgarian confesses, who has known how to bring together the best of each one. Known for his great ability to relate and get along with most players on the circuit, Dimitrov explained how he inherited the best of his mother, a physical education teacher, and his father, a former volleyball player. : “She knows how to connect with people from very different backgrounds, whatever they do. We often talk about it, she always tries to connect with people and makes them nervous. She just wants to get you out of your comfort zone so you can express yourself without any judgment. She always wants to see the person from the inside and I think that is the most important trait that my mother has always given me. My father is the complete opposite, so he is very strange. I’ve gotten the best of both worlds because just as I feel like I can be in an environment with a lot of people, players, officials, I can be alone and just enjoy a walk in the desert. “I feel comfortable being on both extremes.”

The most important

Thus, Grigor wants to send a beautiful message that transcends tennis and focuses on keeping the good in things and people: “Nothing is ever so good, but nothing is ever so bad either. Everyone has a good heart and all that, but it also depends on how you use it and how you express yourself. I think that for me this part has always been very strong. I always wanted to continue like this, taking the risk of being on the wrong side of some people and being judged. I’m fine with that, as long as I’m true to myself, my heart, and the people around me. “I think that drives you to be a good person and set very good, high standards of living.”
